Over 3 weeks I had several dental procedures. I had a crown put on a broken #10 from an injury. I had fillings put on several teeth (in between) on that same side. Not sure which teeth exactly but I know that #14 was included with a bit of #15. Then I had a root canal and more fillings. We originally thought the root canal would be done on #14 due to the large cavity but it turns out that #13 needed it and they did a very large filling on #14 instead (and redid the recently done filling). I was told #15 would only need a filling.

Since the first week with the first fillings, I have experienced constant pain in my jaw towards my ear and teeth. I did have some pain in my sinus cavity areas that was relieved with the root canal.

The pain is now concentrated to #15 and is so constant that I've been having to take ibuprofen and Tylenol around the clock. I'm also on antibiotics but that has not helped. It is sensitive to heat and cold and the pain will increase 10 fold and take forever to subside.

I'm waiting to see my dentist next week but I've seen 2 dentists to get pain relief. 1 was an emergency dentist who said that the filing is up against my nerve and will need a root canal. The second dentist had an endodontist on staff that day who said they think it's just referred pain and inflammation from all the dental work being done so close together. That I should wait a couple weeks, finish out my antibiotics and then see where it lands.

I'm at a loss and can't deal with this much longer. The pain is pretty intense. I have stomach issues from previously taking a large amount of ibuprofen over several years ago i would like to keep my stomach intact.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I'm a male 31. I drink and smoke, smoked since I was 18 and drank very heavy since I was 14. The other day I seen my doctor for an unrelated issue and she seen this on my lips. She now has told me that she wants me to see and face specialist to determine what it is and have a biopsy to determine if it's cancerous/pre cancerous although she didn't seem to think so but I guess just to be on the safe side. She did mention leukoplakia. It's been here for about a year and it's only on my lips not I'm my actual mouth. it's like skin that is white almost like a blister and it doesn't hurt and it's impossible to sand paper off it's not really soft or really hard.... She did say that usually it's dentists that spot these types of things and flag them up so I was wondering if you might have any insight. (Sorry for the bad photo) My phone camera isn't too good. Thanks guys!

I had taken the gauze out and there was some bleeding still but it’s kinda slowed down although there is this big ball over the extraction point. I really don’t wanna mess it up and get a dry socket or anything so I’m not sure if this is fine or I’m being paranoid. Thank you so much in advance.

my wisdom tooth at the back is coming in but today i noticed there’s a soft and pliable lump at the front of it and going onto the next tooth

Hi I had a retreatment (XRay of my tooth one yr back)- I was having no pain but filling came off and dentists here (US) wont refill it without RCT. 4 days after RCT I had pain in tooth, with sore throat. I took antibiotic just for a day (amoxiccilin) and pain went away but still swelling on the gums and it hurts if pressed. Did I mess my case up by not taking antibiotics sooner ? Thanks.

for the past couple weeks when i would touch my bottom inside of my teeth with my tongue it would feel like there was something inside my teeth. thats not the case as i flossed a ton and it didn’t change. today i bought a oral care kit and starting scraping at the area when it feels weird and rough. after like 10 minutes of doing it a small piece of something that was yellow/brown came out of my mouth. my teeth still feel weird and rough on the 1/2 teeth where its at. could this be part of my tooth and i chipped it off or what? i gave it to my mom and she crushed it by squeezing it.

I’m 16 btw

Hi there, I have my first dental appointment next month for the first time in 4 years, I've had this booked months ago and have been trying to look after my teeth better. I know this won't make up for years of neglect but trying to take a step in the right direction and I feel like I'm failing

However after months of brushing twice daily and using mouthwash, I have noticed zero chance to my gums. I do have tartar buildup which I'm sure isn't helping but is there anything further I can do to help?

I was going to incorporate flossing but someone mentioned my gums were too bad for flossing, so I've been scared off it but I feel like I should be trying whatever I can? Any tips would be appreciated

Edit: I don't smoke and drink very rarely

I found this white distinct but not really painful spot on the gums a few days ago. Does it look like a canker sore? It’s flat and white with some red inflammation around it. I’m just so confused because I’ve had canker sores before and they sting like hell. Thank you for your feedback!

I got this filling done in July. Today I was eating and a piece of my tooth just came off on the same tooth. Can this spot be filled!? Should I be worried if something is exposed, it currently doesn't feel sensitive, but I'm concerned plan on calling a dentist tomorrow. Does this mean my enamel is weak. Every time I ask my dentist he says my teeth are fine.. I've been heaving teeth issues on and off for about a year now.

This is my 3 year olds front teeth. I took him to his dentist a few months ago and he didn’t explain what it was he just said he needed to be put under general anesthesia to fix this.My son doesn’t complain much but sometimes tells me that it hurts. I have yet to hear back about scheduling the procedure. I have been looking online to see what this is called and enamel hypoplasia seems the be what it is. Not sure though

over the summer i burnt my tongue and i thought this mark was just a burn but it didn’t go away for a while. it does come and go but it’s always in the same area. i am a dental hygiene student and my instructors have said it’s geographic tongue but i’m not sure because as i said it does always stay in the same area but it does fluctuate in size / healing. does this look like geographic tongue to everyone else

I fell and hit my face, knocking back one of my front teeth on the top. The gum was damaged and about 2mm of it seems to have disappeared. Will this come back?

Can anyone identify what this is. It’s painful and makes eating quite difficult. I’ve had it for 2 days

Thanks

its has black spots on it and only started hurting now. now, i will admit that the past few days i haven’t been brushing regularly and was eating alot of sweets, but i dont really know what conclusion to come to from that.

Can anyone tell how this tooth will be fixed? Will a filling do or will I need something more expensive?

Also can you see if it has had a filling before? I’m pretty sure I had this tooth filled in February but I can’t remember. If so, I am hoping the dentist will give me a discount to fix it since their filling didn’t even make it a year.

For about a week now ive had some intense pain/acheyness in my mouth. it feels like my cheeks have cuts or trauma and are swelling up on both sides, in the same area on both sides on the tops AND the bottoms. the very last teeth on my top and bottom gums on both sides are insanely sensitive and feel like all four of them must have something wrong with them. I drew on a diagram where the teeth are that hurt, because my explanation isnt very good lol. My dad suffers from canker sores in his mouth often, and so do i when i'm really stressed. Because its finals week for me, i thought that maybe i just had some really bad canker sores on my cheeks, but then my teeth started hurting really badly too. Eventually it turned into my gums and cheeks swelling, and (probably unrelatedly) my neck lymph nodes too. I'm 16 in a few weeks, i don't drink or smoke cigarettes, and i've never had dental issues before, aside from having a cavity when i was 8. If anyone could tell me if i need to go to the dentist or what they think the issue is and how to alleviate it, it would be much appreciated as its been rough to eat and sleep for a bit.

please someone tell me

3 questions related to this I wondered if anyone could help with:

1. Visibility

How visible are these? Can you easily see if someone is wearing them?

2. Length of treatment

How long does the typical treatment last?

3. Lifestyle implications

How much does it impact your ability to drink coffee, eat different foods etc.

So, I still haven’t gotten my wisdom teeth removed due to the price of the procedure, the last few days my gums and in general that side of my mouth have been swelling up to where I can’t bite down fully or else I’ll just bite down on my gums. Yesterday there was pus in my mouth (gross I know) and so now I’m worried I may have an infection. I’m mainly here to ask two things, is there any way to make dental care more affordable, and what can I do to relieve pain until I can get this resolved?
